I was born and raised in Southern Maryland and I currently live in Charles County. I taught high school Government for four years, and I'm loving my newest position as an Instructional Technology Specialists at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), where I train instructors how to use technology in their classrooms. Over the years, I have developed and conducted various trainings focused on implementing the use of various instructional technologies in the K-12 and in higher education.
This is me!
